Enchanted Birthday Cards

Here are some cards that I have made for people's birthdays the last several months. The first two cards are made of 3 layers and therefore create a sense of depth and dimension. The last two cards are variations on a theme that I already used on a card for mother's day. I really enjoy making these collage dresses and am thinking of creating a little book of fashion.
